WAYS of American Yachtmen.

One of the most prominent members of
the New York Yacht club hove up at once
with the remark that:
american yachtmen are becoming as
set and immOvable in their scruples and
prejudices as the most rabid sons of Great
Britain. Whether it has anything to do
with the prevailing craze of Anglomania
or not cannot say, but it is there just the
same. The most steadfast and vigorous
efforts on the part of the wide awake
yachting men Of America toward having
the races for the America cup occur in the
spring instead of the fall have failed again.
Because the races have always been held
in the fall, they insist on continuing to
hold them at the same time of the year,
although the contests nearly all resolve
themselves into drifting matches, and are
unsatisfactory alike to yachtmen and spec
tators. If the rule were changed now in
the face of precedent and the race held in
the spring, it would give us another year
to get ready for the Scotchman's boat
which you may mark my word will be a
cIpper-and we would thus be sure of
having brisk winds and races fair to all

Reatinm the Market Man.

The sample dodge is an old and mean
trick by which some sharpers in small
way beat the market man out of dinner
now and then. If you stay here long
enough you'll see one of them. / usually
get from two to dozen visits from them
every day Many of them are men, old
men, usually, of respectable appearance,
though occasionally you find well
dressed woman in the business, and now
and then a child It is worked like this
The sample fiend comes up when you are
not busy and tells you that he has not
laid in his winter stock of vegetables yet.
Then he talks about different kinds Of
potatoes and wants to see what we have
got. He takes a potato out of each bar
rel, says he'll try them all and see which
he likes best, and moves coOlly Oft. VI
course we never see him again.
Now that seems like very small kind
of a confidence game for grown people &c
be at doesn't it? But believe there are
scores of families who depend on just such
little tricks for the chief part of their sus-
tenance. Anyway, we have lots of them
down here | have known them to come
and s'work the racket and go away ana
then be at some other stand on the same
errand an hour later [ actually believe
some of them have gathered enough vege-
tables in this way out of this market in a
day to last them all winter. OF course
beggars we would fire out of here in a
holy minute, and persons who didn't look
respectable we shouldn't allow to take
sample. But what can you do when nicely
dressed persons, who, for all you know,
may own a brown stone block and be able
to buy you out thousand times, come
along ard work you this way?-Stallkeepe

Reasons for weathercocks.

Why should cocks figure on the top OF
gteeples2 Christians connect the custom
with the reprOach the cock once conveyed
20 ST. Peter. But the cock used to be
sliced on the tops of sacred trees long be-
fore it was transferred to church steeples,
and in north Germany it still stands upon
the May poles. 1t was partly watchman
and partly weather prophet, and by its
growing it could dispense evil spirits and
all approaching calamities. Its life was
sacred in India and Persia, and Cicero
speaks of the ancients regarding the kill
ing of a cock as a crime equal in blackness
to the suffOcatiOn of a father Our
weathercocks are doubtless the survivals
of the old ideas; though the solar
mythologists trace all these things to the
use of domestic fowls as obvious personifi-
cations of the sun, so that 1.-The pearl
which the fowl searches for in the dung
hill is naught else but it's own egg, and the
egg of the hen in the sky is the sun itself, "
and "'the hen of the fable and fairy tales
which lays golden eggs is the mythical hen
the earth or the sky which gives birth
every day to the sum- One can scarcely
conceive anything more absurd, and it
would be interesting to know how, on
solar principles, would be explained the
TyrOlese custom of not letting black hen
live for seven years lest she should then
lay an egg, out of which might issue d
dragon destined to live a hundred years.

Mexicans Never i'm a Hurry.

''Rush'' is something a Mexican cannot
understand. He always has time for every
thing. He stays long at table, dresses
leisurely, keeps much in the open air; and
the women are of the same leisurely habits
One hears little about nerves. here,
and life goes on just as well, and little
better than if one were keeping ten en-
gagements in twelve hours and reforming
all the rest of mankind. The oval, warm
tinted or even the frequently seen pallid
face of the pure blooded Spanish woman

An Inreninns Methnd-

Mr.. L. Tietjens, of Stassfurt, Germany,
has recently patented an ingenious
method of damming back the flow OF
water in shafts, by the application of the
well known fact that certain salts increase
their volume very materially by the alb
sorbing of water of disqualification in hard
ening To accomplish this he takes either
calcined soda, anhydrous alum, kieserite,
or oXychloride of magnesium, mixes them
into paste, and then Immediately injects
them through a suitably arranged pipe
into the assures through which the water
flows. 1t is said that as this paste
hardens it swells enough to fill all the in
terstices of the rock and to render it water
tight.-English Mechanic.

Paper, Pens and Pencils.

In a communication to one of the scien-
tifc journals, on the subject of paper and
the industries connected with it, NJ. De
Boutarel presents some valuable data
showing the great increase in the quantity
of pens, paper, pencils, ETC., manufactured
in Europe and the United States alone.
According to this authority, the produc-
ton of paper, which at the beginning of
the century was practically nothing in the
United States, some time since amounted
to 500, 900 tons per annum, and this guam
tity is just doubled in Europe-the value
of the straw, rags and other materials used
in the manufacture of the paper being
about 500, 900. The value of all this
paper, when manufactured, is estimated
at $500, 000,0 The value of the steel
pens annually produced, M. BoutareI finds
to be not less than 81, 600, 000.-Ne" York

villains with Light Eyes and Hair.

''Why is it that stage villains are "1'vays

and fierce black mustaches?'' remarl a
young man who has recently turned
from the rowdy west. 81 have spent a
couple of years among the cowboys of the
plains and I have seen many of the most
noted desperadoes in that frontier country
1t has been my observation, and 1 have
heard others say the same thing, that these
desperate men are nearly always blondes
fellows with light hair, light mustache
and light blue eyes. Some of the most
desperate characters have ever seen were
small in stature and quiet looking. The
male brunette has, think, been I'M
